Photo on a Panzer III Ausf.G Gallery, the SdKfz 141 Panzerkampfwagen III (PzKpfw III), or Panzer III is a German tank, designed by the late 1930s and used extensively during the first phase of the second world war. It was developed to engage enemy armour (first with an anti-tank gun 3, 7 cm KwK 36 L/45, and then from October 1940 with a 5 cm KwK 38 L/42, then a 5-cm L/60 in June 1942), while the Panzer IV, who was a contemporary, had planned to provide gunfire support for the troops of infantry with a 7, 5 cm KwK 37 L/24. However, with the appearance of tanks allies better and better protected, only the Panzer IV was able to ship weapons capable of destroying (with a canon 7, 5 cm KwK 40 L/43 from March 1942), and it supplanted the Panzer III as principal of the Wehrmacht char.
But despite the fact that the Panzer III is totally outdated since early 1942, found still engaged in mass during the battle of Kursk in July 1943.
